"Don't Tap the Glass" released early July 21 and features 10 songs produced and performed by Tyler, The Creator. The album's cover art features the artist with an unproportionally-sized head and limbs sporting red pants, a large gold chain, glasses and a red hat that reads, "GLASS."

With almost no heads up, Tyler, the Creator unleashed his ninth studio album on the world on Monday.

Music writers and critics are largely still digesting the surprise release, but the early reactions have praised Don't Tap the Glass for continuing Tyler's stellar reputation for production and a looseness that his recent, more conceptual albums have steered away from.
